Top loosers which i can buy now today

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ $50,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on companies that are not ultra-microcaps.
   • Rationale:
     • Very tiny companies (below $50M market cap) can be extremely volatile, illiquid, and more prone to manipulation—especially among “big losers” on a given day.
     • By setting a minimum market cap, the screener looks for stocks that are still relatively investable and more likely to have institutional or broader market participation, which aligns better with “stocks I can buy now” in a practical sense.

2. Price between $0.20 and $5

   • Purpose: Target low-priced stocks while avoiding extreme penny stocks.
   • Rationale:
     • You previously asked for stocks under $2; this time you didn’t specify a price, but the screener keeps you in a similar low-price universe (now expanded up to $5), where small price moves can be meaningful for traders.
     • The $0.20 minimum helps filter out very low-priced, highly speculative “sub-penny” or near-zero stocks that often have huge percentage moves but poor tradability and high risk.
     • The upper cap of $5 keeps the list focused on lower-priced opportunities that are usually more accessible to smaller accounts and often where “top losers” traders like to look for potential rebounds.

3. Volume ≥ 1,000,000 shares (today)

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks are actively traded and easy to enter/exit today.
   • Rationale:
     • “Which I can buy now today” implies you want something liquid enough to trade immediately without major slippage.
     • A minimum of 1M shares of daily volume significantly reduces the risk of getting stuck in illiquid names and improves the odds of tighter bid/ask spreads.

4. Price Change % ≤ -8% (on the day)

   • Purpose: Identify “top losers” — stocks that are down significantly today.
   • Rationale:
     • “Top losers” is interpreted as stocks with a large negative price move during the current session.
     • Setting a maximum price change of -8% means the stock must be down at least 8% on the day, which is a substantial move and places it among the notable decliners.
     • This directly captures the “losers” side of your request, focusing on names that have sold off sharply and could be of interest either for short-term trading or potential bounce setups (subject to your own analysis).

Why Results Match Your Request

• The price change filter (-8% or worse) specifically targets the “top losers” today.
• The volume filter (≥ 1M) and market cap filter (≥ $50M) ensure these losers are actually tradeable “now today,” not illiquid microcaps.
• The price range ($0.20–$5) keeps you in a low-priced segment where short-term traders often look for opportunities among large daily losers.
